The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-02-18

hibited more animation, which, how
ever, was attained at the expense Of
quotations. There was no news of a
character to have much effect upon
values, but in the abseRce OF support
by tie leaders and the clique the pre-
fessionsl traders seized the opportuni-
~ to bring about a decline. The mar
ket in general was quite fever;sh and
irregulsr throughout most of the day,
and though a few stocks were firmly
held the majority of the list yielded
re9dily TO the pressure. TIE move
ment was accelerated by heavy selling
in Richmond aud West Poini by
broke 8 supposed to represent iusid-
ers OF large reAlizAtions. A
Iumor was circulated that sn
influential party was rsaliz ny in
Richmond and West Point and that a
large loan to the company had been
called. This brought renewed pres
sure to sell and the stock scored an
extreme decline Of p per cent. Kar-
sas and Texas was also unfavorably
affected by reports Of the failure Of
the negotiations with the scrip. The
opening IVES rather heavy, a majority
OF the list showing declines from last
evenings figures of &c to &c, while
Missouri, Kansas and Texas was off
! per cent. The market in the early
evening was dull, but irregular and
feverish and generally heavy, while
Canada Southern and West Point
were conspicuously weak. There was
more activity toward noon, but the
decline continued until nearly IL
o'clock, when a rally occurred, 10
which New England became piomi-
nent, though the gains recorded we're
for fractions only. The decline was
then renewed and continued TO the
close, subject only to one or two
slight rallies, and the market closed
weak at or near the lowest of the day.
